So the other 7 resumed wearing masks at the exact same time that Sotomayor went back to remote and it was all spontaneous and unprompted?
Court seems poised to block vaccine-or-test policy for workplaces but may allow vaccine mandate for health care workers - SCOTUSblog
That seems unlikely to me.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!The original reporting was that Roberts requested that all the justices mask up. Gorsuch declined to do so. This is a non-denial denial.
Just posting an alternative reporting of this situation. I also find it unlikely that Roberts or Sotomayor directly requested Gorsuch wear a mask and he flat out refused. Could be others wore masks now since Omicron was so rampant but in past sessions the daily case rate was not nearly so high.
Maybe we'll find out more.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
It’s a joint statement by both Justices at the center of it. It clearly states the reporting is false. And you’re clearly FOS as usual cat lady.
No, it only says the reporting that Justice Sotomayor asked Gorsuch to wear a mask is false. But the NPR story was that the request came from Roberts. They know though that knuckledragging rubes like you will take it to be a full-throated denial when it isn't.
From the article that kicked off the thread:
"NPR reports that after Sotomayor made clear she felt vulnerable amid an Omicron-driven surge in cases, Chief Justice John Roberts asked the other justices to wear a mask on the bench. All of them did except Gorsuch, who also happens to sit next to Sotomayor, according to NPR."
Why do you find it unlikely that he would flat out refuse?

OMG! You are so cute. Your naivety is so adorable. May I suggest you Google the distinction between "which" and "that"
The statement clearly points to “the reporting” being false. “This is false”. But by all means keep spinning your BS

Seems like a strong stance to take. Sounds like there's more to the story than what is being presented. Here's the NPR comment
"Roberts “in some form” then asked the other justices to wear masks, Totenberg reported. "
That's a pretty wishy washy statement - what on earth does "in some form" mean?
“It is false.”
Joint statement. Notice how it is drafted - says that Sotomayor never requested Gorsuch to wear a mask. It does NOT say no request was ever made of Gorsuch (as would be the case if the request came from Roberts or anyone else). Lawyers gonna lawyer.
